My cousin was working in the Maldives recently for Sky TV and took the day trip to Gan remembering that my dad, Peter Day was stationed there.
He was an Aerial Rigger and was out there around '59 or '60 I think and did about 6 months.
He sadly died of the big C 10 years ago aged 60 but I remember the photos he showed me as a kid, these have disappeared at the hands of a wicked stepmother!!
If anyone remembers Pete, or has any good stories or pictures please get in touch. I did 23 years in the RAF as an Airframes/Engines Techie so any military banter will be understood!!
